Welcome to the super-tastic YA Scavenger Hunt! For those new to the rodeo, this tri-annual event was first organized by the fabulous Colleen Houck as a way to give readers a chance to gain access to bonus material from their favorite authors … and a chance to win some awesome prizes!

If you came here looking for my bonus material, my fav steamy scene from Bloodcraft (Bloodspell 2), you’ll have to keep hunting! But I’ll give you a hint … the talented author hosting my bonus material lives in the city of love and light (and the setting of Book 2). Wink, wink.

Back to business. At this hunt, you not only get access to exclusive content from each author, you also get a clue for the hunt. Add up the clues, and you can enter for our prize–one lucky winner will receive one signed book from each author on the hunt in my team!But play fast: this contest (and all the bonus material) will only be online for 72 hours — until noon PST on Sunday December 2nd!

Check out the YA Scavenger Hunt page to find out all about the hunt. There are TWO contests going on simultaneously, and you can enter one or all! I am a part of the BLUE TEAM–but there is also a red team for a chance to win a whole different set of twenty-five signed books!

If you’d like to find out more about the hunt, see links to all the authors participating, and see the full list of prizes up for grabs, go to the YA Scavenger Hunt homepage.

ARE YOU GUYS READY?!?!

So for those of you who don’t know me, I’m the author of Bloodspell, a novel that dabbles in magic and blood and dark romance. I’m particularly proud to say that Bloodspell was chosen as a Seventeen Magazine Summer Read. Anyhoo, enough about me. I’m super excited to introduce you to the author I’m hosting for the Winter Scavenger Hunt! DRUMROLL PLEASE!!

Today, I am thrilled to be hosting the awesome ANNA COLLOMORE for this leg of the YA Scavenger Hunt! I’m incredibly jealous that Anna lives in Paris … I used to live there (sigh). It’s still one of my most favorite cities in the world. I lived there for 13 years. Ok fine, four. But it felt like thirteen. Anyway, moving past my envy, let’s focus on ANNA!!

About Anna:

Anna Collomore–a devotee of dairy products, small mammals, and thrift stores–is an author and a former book editor from New York City. Now she lives, writes, and au pairs in Paris.

Annie Phillips is thrilled to leave her past behind and begin a shiny new life on Belvedere Island, as a nanny for the picture-perfect Cohen family. Life is better than she ever imagined. She even finds romance with the boy next door. But all too soon, cracks appear in Annie’s seemingly perfect world. She’s blamed for mistakes she doesn’t remember making. Her bedroom door comes unhinged, and she feels like she’s always being watched. As she struggles to keep up with the demands of her new life, Annie’s fear gives way to frightening hallucinations. Is she tumbling into madness, or is something sinister at play?

Holy crow! Did you guys get goosebumps reading that? I sure did! And how dramatic is this cover? I, for one, cannot wait until this book comes out. February 7, 2013, people. Mark your calendars. In the meantime, find out more information by checking out Anna’s website or find more about getting your very own copy of THE RUINING here!

And now for the moment you all have been waiting for … Anna’s BONUS CONTENT!! Well, seek no more. ENJOY!

To enter, you need to know that my favorite number is hidden somewhere in this post (hint: scroll up a couple paragraphs, it’s in blue). Add up all the favorite numbers of the authors on the blue team and you’ll have all the secret code to enter for the grand prize!

I would love to be Elena Michaels from the Women of the Otherworld series because I think it would be interesting to experience being a werewolf, and a strong and amazing one at that. I could also say that I’d like tobe Kaylee from the Soul Screamers series so I coulld meet the awesome Tod and even Emma and Sabine, or Wendy from the Trylle trilogy so I could meeet the charming, sexy and funny Loki, but I honestly wouldn’t want to be these characters, so Elena Michaels it is :).

Hi! Wow that’s a really tough question because I normally don’t think ‘wow, I wished I was so and so from this book.’ That’s what the characters are there for..hehe. But I would love to either be Meghan from The Iron Fey Series, because I would love to visit the Nevernever, either that or Cat from The Night Huntress Series because she’s bad ass and plus I would love to experience me some Bones (; <3

About The Author

AMALIE HOWARD grew up on a small Caribbean island where she spent most of her childhood with her nose buried in a book or running around barefoot, shimmying up mango trees, and dreaming of adventure. 25 countries, surfing with sharks, and several tattoos later, she has traded in bungee jumping in China for writing the adventures she imagines instead. She isn’t entirely convinced which takes more guts.
